travelsafar As you say I have and I hate it and it is what I have done today and I hate it as well.
I usually wake between 6.00-6.30am . Today I slept through until nearly 8.00am and I felt thick and groggy because I had overslept, which slowed me down even further. It is now just on 10.00 and I am just doing what I usually do about 7.00am.
My excuse/reason? After a year of turbulence and stress, which sent all my regular habits of exercise and fitness to the wall, for the last four days, I have been out in the garden each day clearing, weeding, digging and starting to get control of the garden again.
I have really enjoyed, it is exhilerating, but at the same time, I am in my late 70s and fitness falls off quickly, if you do not maintain it and, while I am sure I will get back close to where I was a year ago, currently my relatively short period of daily gardening is leaving me stiff and sleeping very heavily. I am going to have to start setting the alarm.
